Description

Measure the pulse and respiration rate of yourself and others using your camera.

This app can often pick up on the subtle variations in face color caused by a heart beat. To test remote heart rate sensing from your face or others, use this app. A more reliable heart rate measurement can be made from the finger using apps such as "Instant Heart Rate".

To use: - Steady the camera by resting it on a table (for example). - Position your face in the top box and shoulders in the bottom box. - Push 'Start' and keep still while the measurement is in progress. - Your pulse and respiration rate will be displayed.

How it works: - Movement of your chest is used to measure respiration rate. - Small changes in reflectivity from your face are used to measure pulse. Each heart beat our faces pulsate - changing in reflectivity by about 1%, if these changes were 2% then we would be able to see them with our eyes, at 1% they are just detectable with a smartphone camera (after a few seconds of measurement).

Disclaimer: This remote sensing software is fallible and so it is not recommended for important measurements.

Why use Heart Beat Rate app ?

You may use our application to determine your heart rate just out of curiosity, to compare it with your friends for fun, after physical activity to know your Heart Rate training zone or to do health prevention.

****IMPORTANT: For correct reading hold your index finger on the camera lens steadily and lightly for the whole measuring process. Don’t move your finger until measuring is complete, breath normally! Heart rate is measured by detecting change in color on your fingertip that changes with every heart beat due to blood flow. Not using app correctly will result in false reading. PLEASE DON’T WRITE BAD COMMENTS IF YOU DID NOT USE APP CORRECTLY!****

Lightly place the tip of your left hand index finger on the camera lens so it completely covers the lens and press START.

Hold until the measurement is complete. Hold your phone steady.

If your camera does not have flash, measure your heart rate in well-lit environment. If you are not getting any readings readjust the position of your finger. If your device does not have back facing camera but has front facing camera such as Nexus 7 use the front facing camera.

Place the tip of your index finger on phone’s camera and in a couple of seconds your Heart Rate will be shown. A real-time chart will show your every heart beat.

It uses your phones built-in camera to track color changes on the fingertip that are directly linked to your pulse. This is the same technique that medical pulse oximeters use.

Now you have a chance to track your fitness and health every-time with just your phone.Your resting heart rate gives you a view into your hearts fitness. The fitter you get the lower your heart rate will be.

You may even help your lovely sleeping baby, or your grandparents to measure their heart rate by switching to back camera. This is a fun and easy way to measure your heart rate.

This app works best, if the device is being hold still in a bright environment.

★ How breath rate measurement works ★While you are breathing, there are movements on your chest. Our advanced software algorithm is able to detect these movements. Make sure that your chest is inside the marked area.

This app works best, if the device is being hold still in a bright environment.

★ User reviews ★★★★★★ JohnSeems accurate Have tried it on many different occasions & with different people with different heart rates. It always seems quite close to what I find when checking the pulse manually. Of course, good lighting is required. Would like to compare the graph with a hospital monitor sometime but not in a rush to put myself in that situation. The option to save the graph would be nice.

★★★★★ mildlydisturbedTried it multiple times, measured, usually right EVO 3D, works fine in normal conditions (I am impressed), not so great if the light isn't constant / other people walking around the room (but not horribly off). It was generally right on with my timings, kept trying to find some fault with it but was unable to find obviously wrong. I dig.

★★★★★ SamWait, this actually works I thought this was a joke or a con. Then I tried the app. What an amazing use of image processing. Very clever, and it's not just a gimmick, it seems good enough to actually use.

★★★★★ MayoExcellent What makes it so good is being free, simple and quick. Bravo !

★★★★★ LuisGreat Accurate and works well as long as there is enough light. Recommended

Displays battery level for Polar H7 and other HRM devices that support sending battery level information. The feature is active on Android 4.3 and Samsung devices at this time.

Due to Android Bluetooth Low Energy support limitations, this app only supports devices running Android 4.3 and above, the Samsung GS4 (Android 4.2+), and the following HTC devices - HTC One, HTC Droid DNA and HTC One X+ (Android 4.1+). Please note that your device must have hardware that supports Bluetooth SMART. If your device is not supported, please don't give my app a bad rating because it is out of my control. If you'd like to know why your device is not supported, please email me at pribble88@gmail.com. The 2012 Nexus 7, Nexus 10, and Galaxy Nexus are not supported at this time.

The Samsung GS3, GS2, Note 2, and Motorola Razr XT910 have been confirmed to work with Cyanogenmod 10.2. You may need to put a file "android.hardware.bluetooth_le.xml" in /system/etc/permissions in order for Android to detect that the device supports Bluetooth SMART. Please email the developer at pribble88@gmail.com if you would like help using Cyanogenmod 10.2.

It has been verified to work with the Mio Alpha, Polar H7, BlueLeza HRM Blue, Zephyr HxM Smart, Viiiiva, 60beat Blue, Beets BLU, and Wahoo heart rate monitors and should be compatible with any BLE heart rate measuring device.

This app uses your Android device's sensors to measure a person's breathing and heartbeat rates. This app goes beyond other heartbeat monitoring apps by using either the device's light and camera with the subject's finger or motion sensors. The motion sensors measure your chest movements! This is also the only heartbeat monitoring app that gives you a sense of the reliability of the measurements.

With the 'motion method' the app takes sensor readings several times each second while the device is resting on the subject's chest. The app makes use of a technology in your device called 'sensor fusion,' which combines the readings of multiple sensors to isolate such variables as linear acceleration, rotation, and gravity. The app monitors the change in angle to determine the breathing and heartbeat rates. Your device must have gyroscopes, accelerometers, and magnetometers and a version of Android that supports these technologies. If you are not sure, you can try one of the free sensor test apps in the Google Play Market and find out. Or, you can first try the free version of this app, 'CardioRespiratory Monitor Free'.

The app shows breathing and heartbeat rates (in bpm), as well as the amplitudes of each. Also shown are plots of the breathing movements and the average movement due to the heartbeat (as angle versus time in arbitrary units). This is the only Android app that measures all these quantities.

With the 'camera+light' method, the app takes multiple images each second while the subject's finger is covering the rear camera and light. First, the finger is placed over the camera and light. When the Start button is pressed, the app reads the camera data for 25 seconds. The light passing through the finger to the camera dims when blood surges through the arteries during each heartbeat. The average interval between the light pulses is equal to the average interval between heartbeats. You can monitor the changing brightness on your device's screen as the readings are taken.

This version of the app adds several options not available on the free version. These include the following:

- whether a 'ping' sound is emitted after each round of measurements, - the number of rounds of measurements, - whether the measurements are saved to a file, - and whether the results are 'spoken' with your device's text-to-speech capability.

This is an early release of the ALPHA - Heart rate monitor, which can be used with various heart rate measuring systems, like the Mio ALPHA, and Polar H7; as long as they use Bluetooth Low Energy / Smart it should work.

This app currently is in Alpha state, but updates will be provided frequently (as much as possible).
